The English program of primary 1 helps our intellectual Bridgeman develop their verbal and written communication skills to express themselves creatively. The overarching aim for English in the curriculum is to promote high standards of language and literacy by equipping pupils with a strong command of the spoken and getting acquainted with the written language, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for enjoyment. The curriculum for English aims to ensure that all pupils: develop the habit of reading widely and often, for both pleasure and information, are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others and participating in debate and appreciate our rich and varied literary heritage.

The main goal of our library is to create a strong bond between our young learners and the books. We believe that books are not just only for reading, books opening doors of magic and improvisation, and to bring that all alive we have installed stages in our common zone for performances. All our young learners should be enabled to participate in and gain knowledge, skills and understanding associated with the artistic practice of drama. They should be able to adopt, create and sustain a range of roles, responding appropriately to others in role. They should have opportunities to improvise, devise and script drama for one another and a range of audiences, as well as to rehearse, refine, share and respond thoughtfully to drama and theatre performances.
